My DD was born 26.11. We have stopped sterilising bottles. I even wondered today whether I could move her on to cows milk rather than formula as she is eating like a horse (well more than my 3 yr old). She is my 2nd and lets just say I am a little more relaxed!

Pass if you find the answer let me know. Cerezette killed my sex drive. It is a wonder F was conceived at all quite frankly. Although I still haven't had a period. I stopped feeding F weeks ago, and only fed her once a day for weeks prior to that

Dishwasher has been sterilising stuff for us for the past fortnight, no ill effects to date.

Contraception? Argh. I fell pregnant on the combined pill - despite neurotically taking it at the same time of day, every sodding day - and now have the implant. I have bled constantly for three months since having it fitted (bar two days..) and am giving it another 2 months before demanding the thing is removed. Sorry I am not much help, but I am eagerly awaiting an answer too!

Boobs here, the toys get the occasional once over with Milton spray homemade from cheapie tablets <lazy>

Welcome Betty

Anyone else not going to bother with formula? I figure I've made it this far so might as well go straight to cows at 1, or boobjuice at bedtime, as it's easier. He feeds 5-6 times a day for 5 occasionally 10 minutes a time so it's not a huge palaver good excuse to sit down with a coffee is that normal for bf?

Pidj J has 4-6 breastfeeds a day. I think he could manage on less food wise but he likes to feed to sleep which is convenient for me for the moment. By now my other two boys had self-weaned so I'm playing it by ear as to how long to continue. He's not keen on formula but I wouldn't want to bf him any longer than 18 months.

sophia O refuses the beaker. Even with water. I switch when she is 1, will throw all the bottles away.

No contraception here. We didn't use any for 8 years, always said we would be happy with baby. Actively tried for 2.5 years before I fall pregnant with O (had a mc 4 months before that). If I ever see any actions again I will not use anything. I am desperately broody for another.

I am not broody. except where puppies are concerned Never have been. I adore M and, although I wouldn't rule out another in 4/5+ years time, I feel so blessed having her in my life. She is the absolute centre of my world and if I never have any more, then I am totally okay with that.

I am desperate for another...but need to go back to work. If we get a wedding planned for April DP says we can start trying on honeymoon....but if its anything like this one could take 18months or longer!
